It seems a general problem with synaptics that were introduced in this release of the kernel. This happens in many distributions as well (as far as I could test: ArchLinux and Fedora for me) I don't know how this can be solved though, but by going to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and back to X11-VT (Ctrl-Alt-F7). But this doesn't even always works.

It seems someone found wome workaroung in Bug 133060 ... but it doesn't seems to work on my installation (maybe it because I'm using appletouch instead of psmouse)

Well, thinking of It, I think it *may* hapen because the driver (appletouch in my case, psmouse in many others) is resumed after synaptics is. Bt I don't really know.
